When shooting nature, camera optics rarely allow to capture complete landscape in it's beauty, not just chopping off small piece.Indoor, it is rarely possible to move far enough to cover the space completely. A number of frames has to be taken or special optics (fisheye) should be used.In these cases panorama is the solution.

Usually, panorama on mobile devices is shoot using either of two methods:

In case of sweep panorama the shooting is actually happening in video mode and the height of panorama is limited by maximum resolution for shooting video (for the majority of mobile devices it is 1280 pixels). Also, it is impossible to get sharp result under low-light illumination, since camera is always in movement, and exposure for each frame is rather long. On the other hand, on devices without gyroscope, sweep panorama usually will give better stitching results.

Pan-and-shoot method allow to shoot panorama of maximum resolution, limited only by amount of available free memory on device. If device is equipped with gyro - it is possible to rotate camera quickly from one shot to another. In this case it is also possible to select the most appropriate focusing mode: autofocus, focus to infinity, or continuous focusing.

HD Panorama implements both shooting methods.

One of the problems while shooting panorama - the necessity to strictly keep camera orientation to avoid distortion of horizon line, and to avoid 'curvature' on frame sequence. Otherwise only a narrow area will come out as a result of stitching. In HD Panorama there are 'augmented reality' guides. These are showing clearly how to orient camera to get ideal result. When using augmented reality - it is simply impossible to shoot the frame which will drop out of panorama line of sight.

HD Panorama is stitching frames taking into account possible deviations in illumination between frames and presence of moving objects in panorama field. HD Panorama is reproducing dynamic range of the scene to the maximum extent and minimizing the moving objects stitching errors (ghosting removal).

If you are a professional photographer, HD Panorama will allow to save the input frames captured, and stitch and possibly adjust them on your personal computer.

DOESN'T WORK AT ALL I have paid for this and had the paid version installed. It didn't work on my honor 5x. I sent messages but got no reply. I thought maybe it was a fault with the paid version online so uninsulated that and installed this one. IT DOESN'T WORK. As soon as I click on it the screen goes black and then the main screen comes back up.

Needs some work When I don't move my phone steady, it crashes after it tries to match the photos. I've only had 2 successful pictures, however it does grant you full panoramic range, which is pretty cool. Needs to let you change exposure settings and the rest.

Doesn't work on android 7.0 Loved this app for many years on my older phone, so 5 stars for that. But unfortunately it won't start on my new android 7.0 phone. Really hope the devs are still active and will update it.

Bad so far. Keeps crashing, not saving the panorama photos, stops recording half way through. I portrait mode cuts off the height of the photo, why would I buy it if I can't see what's the result of my capturing.
